Script of "Veteran" (TV)

KURT RUSCH: Like all the guys I fought with in Iraq, I was honored to defend my country and our freedom.

(Text on screen: Kurt Rusch, Wisconsin; fmr. U.S. Marine SSGT, Iraq)

But when I got back stateside, I learned that Barack Obama opposes my right to own a handgun for self-defense. It's ridiculous.

KURT RUSCH [v/o]: Out there in the desert, defeat was not an option. Sure, combat was hell. But on the front lines I knew I served a real purpose: defeating terrorism, protecting our way of life. That's what it's all about.

There's no way I'm voting for a president who will take that away -- the freedoms that I fought for, that my friends died to defend.

I served my country on the battlefield to protect our freedoms. There's no way I'm voting for a president who will take them away.
